Tom, okay thanks for the bead info. Getting a bunch of different sizes saved you from trying to figure out what size was needed. Probably the higher up you go, the bigger you need.

One thing I like about a braid/pony tail is depending where you tie it, you can adjust the precieved length of the beard. I remember the first time I saw yours on FB, until closer inspection I and a bunch of other people thought you had trimed it.
